This three-hour masterclass provides corporate leaders with the tools, frameworks, and strategic insights needed to comply with recent emissions regulations across the Gulf, including UAE’s Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024, Saudi Arabia’s emerging GHG reporting mandates, and similar frameworks in Qatar and Oman.

Part One: Understanding GCC Climate Obligations

Begin with a deep-dive into the evolving regulatory situation:

• The legal grounds for mandatory Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions measurement, why they matter, and how GCC nations are standardizing emissions data collection.

• A comparative overview: UAE’s federal law (signed in August 2024, effective May 2025), KSA’s recent GHG rules tied to Vision 2030, Qatar’s national emissions frameworks, and Omani adaptation planning.

• Discussing enforcement mechanisms and penalties—such as licensing suspensions, multi-million AED fines, or even reputational loss for corporate misreporting.

Part Two: Structuring Corporate Emissions Inventories

Explore the practical steps to establish a defensible inventory:

• Best-in-class emissions governance: establishing internal ownership (ESG committees, emissions task forces), assigning accountability at board and executive levels, and ensuring data ownership across business units.

• Techniques for Scope 1 & 2 data capture—reconciling energy bills, monitoring fuel use, managing fleet logistics, and addressing onsite industrial sources.

• Introduction to CorpStage ESG 360: a live platform demo showing how digital MRV (measurement, reporting, verification) systems replace cumbersome spreadsheet tracking—streamlining data entry, quality controls, and audit trails.

Part Three: Climate Adaptation & Resilience Planning

Climate risk goes beyond carbon:

• Understanding adaptation requirements under UAE law and national climate strategies—covering heat stress, water scarcity, and asset resilience.

• How GCC firms can develop climate adaptation roadmaps—integrating scenario planning and risk modeling into operations planning and CapEx decisions.

• Interactive exercise: building a mini adaptation timeline aligned with sector and geography (e.g., coastal risks in UAE, heat risk in KSA, flooding potential in Oman).

Outcomes & Takeaways

Participants will walk away with:

1. A clear compliance roadmap tailored to the GCC—understanding “what to do” and “when to do it.”

2. An emissions inventory outline, including boundary-setting, primary data sources, and governance responsibility.

3. A starter digital helper – CorpStage ESG 360 MRV dashboard preview- with audit-compliant features and step-by-step functionality.
